WL rejects the book of James, many of the Psalms, belittles Proverbs and Job. What hypocrisy to talk about "keeping the oneness of the Body" when you treat the word of God disrespectfully. Clearly the "feeling of the Body" is that these books are part of the Holy Word of God.

Yes, but you were implying that the Lord would not use a select "few" and we have biblical examples of where He does just that. My point is that you have to allow for that and not reject God's arrangement of speaking through a "few".
I am not sure what the problem you are having about the book of James. You seem to suggest that just because something is in the Bible that it is God's word. Was Peter's objection to the Lord Jesus going to the cross God's word? Was Satan's "Hath God said?" God's words? Was the counsel of Job's friends God's words?
No, of course they were not.
